Just thought of mentioning this trick for your sealed spice jars.....If you use the smaller lids to seal your spices, , you can use the lid from your green Parmesan cheese container after you open your jar. It fits perfectly. Works great for things like basil and onion flakes , and you have an instant shaker. 😁😁😁

Great idea Audrey, I don't personally use that type of parmesan but I know exactly which you are talking about. Gonna start asking my friends to save me their lids.

Sorry to chime in so late but our company didn't leave until 5am this morning. I've been storing spices and powders like this for years so here are some tips: clean the rim off very, very well with a clean dry cloth before placing a clean lid on the jar. I wipe the top inside, rim and threads. ANY particles will cause the seal to eventually break. Let the jars sit, without the rings on, for several days to make sure the lids sealed good. Gently pull up on the lid to test before putting on the rings and storing. Sometimes it's not sealed tight, it just looks like it is. I do not recommend sealing powders with a vacuum sealer. Any powder sucked into the machine can damage your expensive machine. The vacuum can also draw up the powder and cause the seal to break. It may happen right away or can happen weeks later. If you do use this method, place the spice in a small paper bag and roll the top down a turn or two. The vacuum will still pull the air out. Using an O2 absorber is the best way to go.

I used to be a big fan of vacuum sealing dry foods in canning jars. And then the canning jar companies changed the synthetic material they use on their canning lids and now those lids are only good for holding their seal for no more than 18 months. Check out the instructions on new cases of canning jars if you do not believe me. Now I seal my dry foods in Mylar bags with oxygen absorbers and, so long as those bags are not damaged or opened, the food inside will store for many years. I store the Mylar bags of food inside cardboard boxes or in 5 gallon food buckets, properly labeled, and these are easy to quickly load into a vehicle if I need to evacuate and no worries about glass jars breaking. Also no worries about lids losing their seals if I have to haul that food over a high mountain pass. I invested in one of those electric gadgets that seals Mylar bags and this makes bag sealing much easier.

If this was mentioned, I missed it so I want to add....I've taken my onion powder, garlic powder, parsley, seeds, etc and dried them in the oven on 200° for varying amounts of time (depends on what you're drying) then cooled them completely. According to the FDA, there are allowable amounts of vermin (eggs, larve, or dust from them) allowed in many of our dried goods from the stores; regardless of packaging. For example; I dry cornmeal and flour for 1.5 hrs. Parsley and other dried spices for less, of course. I prefer mylar bags for these with the oxygen absorber packets. It's said that vermin cannot survive without moisture and oxygen. The oven not only addresses the moisture issue, it kills eggs, etc. Would hate for anyone to open a spice a few years from now and have to throw out a favorite item. Also, the tip mentioned below about wiping the jar edge and lids with a clean dry cloth is critical.

please wipe the rims of the jars to ensure the best seal! when i repackage loose items like rice or powders, instead of rapping the jar on the counter, i place a sacrifice lid in place and twist the jar rapidly in my hands or on the counter to settle the product. doing so can mean as much as 20% more product fitting into the jar then an unsettled jar. then when i'm ready i use a fresh clean lid to seal.

I have to admit I’ve been lazy leaving my spices as is sealed from the store. Is it really worth it to open the seal in order to put it in a jar? Some tips I have to offer: using a vacuum sealer jar attachment to seal any standard regular or widemouth jar; no need for o2absorbers. I save the absorbers for use in soda bottles which make great storage containers for rice and beans. Also, I make moisture absorbing packs using coffee filters and dry rice (put them in the top of my jars before sealing). I love dehydrating herbs, veggies (excess kale dries overnight and can be powdered for sprinkling on food) and even frozen corn is incredibly easy. Meats too...I’m branching out into making pemmican...

What do you mean when you say 02 absorbers? is that 2 100 cc absorbers? Not sure how many to put in jar.

@@malba411 if you Google "how many cc are in x size jar / container it will come right up. Then you add however many O² absorbers to = equal the container.

You are appealing to the spice girl in me. O'Riley should read for audiobooks. Could be a good side gig for him.

Did you have to prep the jars that you use or did you just wash them and let them dry I saw somebody online putting hers in an oven to sanitize them is that mandatory?

I apologize if you have explained this before. How do you know what size & brand of oxygen absorbers to use when storing long-term items?

I just love your friends lol I want victor and Alaska orailly in the same video Why did you change the container of the chili?

@marygallagher3428 5 жыл бұрын

The original chili container was made of clear plastic, which Oxygen can eventually pass through to get to the spices. So, for longer shelf life, it's good to use airtight lidded glass jars with Oxygen absorbers.

I haven't had good experiences with putting chili powder in glass jars. I always get mold...not sure why, but the jars sweat.

Can you dry can chili pods for long-term food storage, and if so how long will they last? Thanks for the information

I’m new to prepping- May I ask the reason behind packing in jars rather than keeping in the original container? Does the plastic degrade?

@cindyw7648 3 жыл бұрын

I thought adobo was red, have never had it. now you're making me hungry for it lol!!! on another note I put a bag of rice flour in my freezer, will doing that help the shelf life of the rice flour once I get it into mylar bags?

@AlaskaPrepper 5 жыл бұрын

I will extend the life as long as you make sure you place an oxygen absorber in there; since it's rice flour I would place one of the big 2000cc o2 absorbers in there. The thing about flour is that it has a lot more surface area to attract bugs and to oxidize so make sure you place a big o2 absorber in there, should be o.k.
